These tiny reviews could fit in your pocket!
WEB WARS: The perspective shifts on this and it messes with your head. There’s not a lot going on here, otherwise. NOT RECOMMENDED!
BERZERK: Flickery crap. I’m selling mine on eBay ASAP. NOT RECOMMENDED!
SCRAMBLE: Sort of like River Raid, but from the side. Things do tend to blow up nicely. RECOMMENDED!
STAR CASTLE: It looks very plain, but I hate that guy sitting in his castle all smug and throwing out missiles and so forth. He deserves to die, and I’m the rogue spaceship who is able to do it. RECOMMENDED!
PROTECTOR: Insanely difficult, like how Defender is supposed to be. This really shouldn’t be a pocket review. Alex Herbert created what is, and what I predict always will be, the most amazing game in the history of the Vectrex. It’s a homebrew game from a few years ago… yeah, this needs its own article. RECOMMENDED!
YASI: YASI stands for “Yet Another Space Invaders.” I do sort of dislike Space Invaders, but this is practically arcade perfect. RECOMMENDED!! IF YOU LIKE SPACE INVADERS!
ROCKAROIDS REMIX: Asteroids, but with the speed ramped up to the fastest game of Asteroids you’ve ever seen. Tough, but fun. At one point I thought it was better than the original Asteroids, but I came around after Pinback slapped me upside the head. RR is still RECOMMENDED!
OK, that’s it for now. We’ll go into how you can get these games for your Vectrex later. I don’t blog on holidays, so see you all Tuesday!
(Oh. I should say, none of these are recommended if you are into “colors.”)
